Doane College ranked in the first tier of the nation's liberal arts colleges and placed among the top two Nebraska colleges in the 2013 edition of "Best Colleges" rankings by U.S.News & World Report, released Sept. 12. The annual college guide categorizes schools by mission and/or region.

U.S.News & World Report uses school classifications developed by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie Foundation made changes to its classifications in 2010, which resulted in many colleges switching ranking categories. Doane remained in the National Liberal Arts category and has again placed in the top tier.

"We are pleased to once again be ranked among the top tier liberal art colleges in the nation, which is a reflection of Doane's commitment to academic excellence," said Doane President Jacque Carter.

The rankings, which include more than 1,400 schools nationwide, are available at www.usnews.com/colleges, and were published in the September issue of U.S.News & World Report.
